My issue with the Brownlow is that getting suspended for a week doesn’t make you an unfair player. I reckon they need to redefine the threshold for ‘fairest’. Maybe a 3 week suspension should rule you ineligible?

Intention is probably the right measure. But it's impossible to measure that.

They already try to with 'deliberate' and 'careless' classifications

Maybe not the best player in the league. Top three ?

I think Serong and Butters have been the only better midfielders.

Great players those two, Merrett has them covered for longevity ,consistency.

I am just talking this year. Butters has had as good a 5 weeks as I have seen from a player in the regular season ever.

 

[CBombers17]

Happy to say my thoughts on Zac's appointment as captain have been very wrong so far.

 

[Dave]

I backed him in the week before the Melbourne game !!

So it’s your fault!!!

 

[windyhill]

So it’s your fault!!!

Yes.

circa 1996 situation on our hands

Yup. It's actually cooked, was kind of made an example of too. Definitely was a week by the book, but it doesn't deserve losing a Brownlow over.

the broadcast said that is now 18 players who have been suspended or cited for a dangerous tackle. Wonder if the AFL has egg on it's face if top two players become ineligible

We are so lucky to have him. Like one of those motors in your favourite car because it never died on you.

I think Bonts been ok but yeah he is in that conversation.

Climbs to 6th in the coaches votes

I can't remember who said it, but Zac as a captain is a follow me player. I loved Hep as a guy but can't remember to many games where he was a clear cut above the rest best player on the ground like Zac has been this year.

Really curious how he polls in the Brownlow this year. Might be in with a shot if we can maintain this form all season.

I hope not considering he is ineligible …just like half of the afl thanks to the sling tackle

Oh right shit, completely forgot about the Sparrow suspension.

 

[Bjchan13]

He would've got off if we bothered to appeal. Doesn't matter, i think as much as he'd enjoy a brownlow a premiership medallion is all he's focused on

We did

 

[Bjchan13]

We did

I know that you know that we didnt. We accepted the tribunals decision. We could've appealed, same as Cripps did last year and also Van Rooyen did this year.

You'd be surprised. He doesn't even know what day it is half the time.
